As a special case of the more general rule:

"Programs and interventions originally meant to help increase general performance, especially among poor-performance students, are applied to a naive heuristic.

Whether the heuristic is accurate or not is ignored, the results of evaluations are ignored, and the effect on performance (if any) is also ignored."
